Goodluckhavefun Gallery is pleased to present Green Light District: Consent, Control, and the Prompt, a group exhibition exploring how artists navigate the contentious territory of Artificial Intelligence within the field of fine arts. Each participating artist was asked to spark a dialogue between an AI prompt and a handmade artwork, revealing the space between intention, machine output, and authorship.
At the center of the exhibition is a question about power. What are we handing over when we prompt, and what remains insistently our own. The exhibition resists clean divisions and draws attention to the shifting terrain where intention, craft, and algorithmic process bleed into one another.
With works including paintings, indoor and outdoor sculptures, videos, and participatory artworks, Green Light District intends to be GLHF's largest and most ambitious exhibition to date.
This show is curated for the space by Ryan Sandison Montgomery.
Peter Abrami is an artist working primarily in painting and drawing with an interest in exploring the connections between human perception, abstraction and cognitive recognition. He holds an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin (2015) and a BFA in painting from The University of South Florida (2010). Abrami's compositions are made up of forms and colors that rub up against each other, paintings and drawings that act as visual puzzles or games. His work is active in the sense that the visual “whole” is always presented in parts, a perceptual puzzle for a viewer to shuffle and sort. As an artist Abrami is interested in the mechanisms that make visual perception tick, the how and why people see what they see.
Eli Decker (b. 1998) is a painter living in Austin, TX. He earned his BA in Studio Art and Computer Science from Colby College.

Through subtle gestures, Decker explores the pervasive influence of technology on our perception of reality, blending organic forms with artificial elements to reflect on solitude and the fleeting nature of beauty. Decker has shown work at Co-Lab Projects, McLennon Pen Co., Austin Studio Tour, and Austin Bouldering Project.
